How do Appraisals Work on Building a New Home?
Comments (3)The bank believes the house will end up costing you $153,000 to build. They require 20% for a down payment, which is how they came up with the $30,600. ($30,600 is 20% of $153,000) In order to borrow $140,000 you would need to be building a house that would cost $175,000 and you would need a down payment of $35,000. How much did you think the house was going to cost to build? How much do you have for a down payment?...See Morehow to find a good porcelain appraiser?
Comments (14)Hey, amy--thanks so much for posting them! Now I have a visual presence on g'web :) Hope "life" is being good to you...I'll crosspost to this thread on antiques and see if anyone has any insight. Thanks, skypathway--it was just sitting there singing to itself on the shelf... annie--there's something that *may* be a mark, but I really doubt it--it's only some unevenness in the center of the bottom that got glazed over pretty well...I've seen vague marks before but this would be the absolute all time vaguest...it didn't even photograph....See MoreAppraiser isn't delivering appraisal...
Comments (7)The lender wasn't trying to speak to the actual appraiser. She was speaking to the appraisal management company that was the go-between. The company finally got ahold of the appraiser late this afternoon. We're supposed to get the appraisal early next week. It turns out he had to remeasure something in the house but didn't bother to let the company know that the appraisal would be held up. He was very positive though that the appraisal would come in on target. I'll feel much better when the house is actually sold. We've tried twice over the past several years to sell this house without any success. We really need to sell it now....See MoreAppraisal/no appraisal?
Comments (24), but will remove the light fixtures and hang the builders grade back up. Frankly when I just sold my condo, I removed all my quality light fixtures, packed them up to be put in my new build and got inexpensive light fixtures that looked good for resale. I also had some expensive cabinet pulls in my two bathrooms and replaced them with basic HD ones. Emma and Cpartist, so my 2700 sq ft house irreguardless of any upgrades is comparable to a builders grade, bare bones home? Well as Frank Sinatra once sang, Ain't That a Kick in the Head. lol I'm confident the house will show quite well, and i'll recoup a good portion of my upgrades, The point is if all the builder basic houses in your neighborhood are selling for $300k then you may get $310k. So even if you put 50k in, you won't get it back. As mentioned, it will make your house show better and will probably make it sell much quicker. You don't want to price it above the other houses in the neighborhood because no one wants to buy the most expensive house in a neighborhood. What happens if you're priced too high is one of two things. Either lots of folks will come through looking to see why you're the most expensive house in the neighborhood but won't write you an offer. So you'll wind up having to drop your price. Once you have to start dropping your price, it makes your house feel less desirable. Or someone will come in with a very lowball offer to see where you might go. From what you've said it's still a builder basic house, that you made nicer....See Morelittlebug zone 5 Missouri
